sa-update / perl error again

2011-12-31 Thread email builder
Hi,

Running CentOS5 with SpamAssassin v3.3.1-2.el5 installed via yum

I remember getting this error a while ago, and it was fixed (don't
remember how, but I think just by upgrading), but now it's
happening again:

Subroutine Net::DNS::Resolver::Base::AF_INET6 redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
 at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm
line 65

The results I get from Google regarding this are all circa
2008. The only hints I can find seem to suggest to remove
perl-IO-Socket-INET6, but trying to do so using yum (I don't
want to start using another method of package management)
tells me that spamassassin is a dependency and will also be
removed - obviously undesirable.

Perl is up to date on the machinge. Am I the only one seeing
this? What can I do to fix it?

I just tried to install spamassassin: everything proceeded normally,

because no rules are found (line 400, which looks to my untutored eye

as you saw, sa no longer distributes rules with package.

You used NetBSD, right? did you install from SA source, or did you use 
NetBSD ports?


try running sa-update -D, see what it did.


exits silently.   There is a rules directory under the the directory
where I ran the installation, and also under usr/pkg/share, and they
are both populated with files which look relevant.

I tweaked the script so as not to require rules, and it ran and
produced output.


utweak.  you need rules.

Check you've only got one saupdate etc installed and you are calling the
saupdate associated with the spamassassin you are running. Ie check there's
not one installed from ports or as the base install if you hand installed a
version and vice versa
